In 2020 the Cellulose and Renewable Materials Division (CELL) of the American Chemical (ACS) society celebrates its 100th anniversary. The following paper is based on a chapter from the book commissioned by the Division (Patterson, 2021). CELL is one of the most successful and dynamic Divisions in the ACS. It has evolved throughout its history to remain relevant and productive. One of its strengths is its diversity, while staying true to its founding vision. This perspective was present at its founding, and the following paper surveys the world of cellulose and renewable materials from the dawn of history to 1920. CELL has both industrial and scientific roots and has always welcomed the full range of participants from these communities. Rather than operating as separate tribes, the two groups have fostered innovations in each other. Many aspects of cellulose science and technology are discussed from antiquity to the early 20th century.
2020 年，美国化学学会（ACS）纤维素和可再生材料分会（CELL）迎来了成立 100 周年。本文基于该分会委托撰写的书籍中的一章（Patterson，2021）。CELL 是 ACS 中最成功和最具活力的分会之一。它在其历史发展过程中不断演变，以保持相关性和生产力。其优势之一是其多样性，同时忠实于其成立愿景。这种观点从一开始就存在，而本文从历史的黎明到 1920 年调查了纤维素和可再生材料的世界。CELL 既有工业根源，也有科学根源，一直欢迎来自这两个领域的广泛参与者。这两个群体并没有各自为政，而是相互促进创新。本文从古代到 20 世纪初讨论了纤维素科学和技术的许多方面。
